ManOnTheMoon Posted April 12, 2010 Report Share Posted April 12, 2010 Dr. Dre's long-awaited Detox LP is no longer just an urban legend. The producer has announced that the first single, "Under Pressure," featuring Jay-Z, will hit the airwaves this month. The West Coast hip-hop icon revealed the information Monday during an interview on "Closing Bell With Maria Bartiromo" on CNBC. "Hopefully we'll be releasing that in the next two weeks or so," he said of the track. "And I'm definitely gonna be putting out the album this year. Finally. I think everyone is gonna be happy with it." The move is the first tangible evidence that the album will actually be released. In the past, Dre has repeatedly attempted to assure fans that the follow-up to Dr. Dre 2001 (a.k.a. The Chronic 2001) would eventually see the light of day. But as the years passed and material for Detox instead landed on albums by Eminem and 50 Cent, fans compared Dr. Dre's promises to those made by Axl Rose when he withheld a Guns N' Roses follow-up album for 15 years until the 2008 release of Chinese Democracy. It's been 11 years since Dre last released an album. But late last year, in an interview with MTV News, Dre told Jay-Z to "Come holler" and contribute to Detox. Over the weekend, Dre (via Jimmy Iovine) confirmed Jay-Z landed on the project when he spoke to ESPN while attending a Boston Red Sox vs. New York Yankees baseball game. Word first arose about the collaboration when E! correspondent Michael Yo tweeted late last month that the two worked on a song that Dre's label, Interscope Records, was very happy about. In the meantime, Dre put the pressure on himself, telling Bartiromo he has no other projects on his plate at the time. "That's it right now," he said, referring to Detox. Just trying to finish this record, finally get it done and get it out and start promoting it." Wow so the album isn't a legend..but after so many years im not really excited. Any of you actually still feeling the hype for it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ManOnTheMoon Posted April 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2010 i forgot about this but isnt there heaps of 'leaked' stuff on youtube? or it all just bs ALL bull[expletive]. So far nothing has leaked from his album, but he confirmed this single which in as the title says less than two weeks should be out. I except it to leak soon though, because it was expected to come out friday. This album has been delayed so long that i doubt many rap fans still care for it.

Check my Stats Posted April 12, 2010 Report Share Posted April 12, 2010 This album is gonna flop in the sales and I think that is why he is so scared to release it, hopefully it is a classic though. Any true hip hop fan should be copping this first day and not downloading. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to hear the single first, because if it's just a club-banger album with no meaning, idk bout really paying for something that was worked on for so many years and has no point.

kadillak Posted April 13, 2010 Report Share Posted April 13, 2010 It'll be interesting to see what he's got in store for this and who all is involved with the album. There's a Lil Wayne verse on a track with Drake called "Ransom" where he raps ""And yes he hot, and me and Drizzy both wrote on Detox". I wonder if that means they'll have full features on the album or if they just 'ghost wrote' some verses for it like Dre is known for.

It was supposed to be on Detox but got leaked so they scrapped it, if the songs were as good as that then Detox has a chance to live up to some of it's hype.
